PC_EFI evolves to v7.0
by Neonkoala on Nov.26, 2007, under News
Netkas has revised PC EFI to his newest iteration, version 7.0. The update brings support for the GUID partition table thus allowing booting from the first 4 partitions (current limitation). Of course this still doesn’t show you non-HFS partitions as it isn’t compatible with those. Also a note from Netkas warning not to use the .startupfiletool for drives with an MBR you wish to keep! As usual find it on the IRC irc.osx86.hu #leopard.
